							        BE LITIGATED IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, OR THE 
							        UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS. 
							        YOU ARE EXPRESSLY SUBMITTING AND CONSENTING IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION 
							        IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY OF SUCH COURTS, AND ARE WAIVING 
							        ANY CLAIM THAT CHICAGO, ILLINOIS OR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

							        This site is created and controlled by StartSampling, Inc. in the 
							        State of Illinois, USA. As such, the laws of Illinois will govern

							        <br>
							      </li>
							      <li><b style="color: blue">Lapsed Accounts</b>: </br> In order to keep StartSampling's membership roster current, 
							        if a Member does not access his or her account for a period of ninety 
							        days or more, StartSampling may, in its sole discretion, terminate 
							        such Member's account [and reduce Member's Frequent Tryer Miles to 
							        zero]. StartSampling will endeavor to notify a Member of StartSampling's 
							        intent to terminate such Member's account by notice to such Member's 
							        provided email address at least fifteen days prior to deactivation. 
							        If the Member fails to respond to such email notice with fifteen days 
							        after the day it is sent by StartSampling, such Member's account will 
							        be terminated as noted above. Therefore, StartSampling strongly recommends 
							        that all Members keep their accounts and contact data current and 
							        in use. While StartSampling desires to prevent active accounts from 
							        being terminated prematurely, StartSampling has no obligation to maintain 
							        accounts that appear to StartSampling to have been abandoned. Each 
							        Member agrees that failure to access his or her account for ninety 
							        days or more conclusively indicates that such Member's account has 
							        been abandoned and that the account may therefore be terminated.<br>
							        <br>
							        </li>
							      <li><b style="color: blue">Verify Members' Address</b>: </br> StartSampling reserves the right to contact 
							        a Member via email to verify the accuracy of account information (including 
							        the Member's correct name and address) that is needed to provide the 
							        Member with the samples or other information he or she requested from 
							        StartSampling.<br>
							        <br>
							        </li>
							      <li><b style="color: blue">Referral Program</b>: </br> As a member of StartSampling you may refer up to 10 people 
							        total to our site and earn Frequent Tryer Miles. Although you may 
							        refer an unlimited number of people to our site, StartSampling has 
							        no obligation to reward Miles for any referrals above and beyond the 
							        first 10.<br>
							        <br>
							        </li>
